Identity question

Why does this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" />

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

... change this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Sample>
  <Child PropA="A" PropB="B" />
</Sample>

... into this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Sample>
  <Child PropA="A" PropB="B">
  </Child>
</Sample>

... I'm getting a separate closing tag when I don't want one. (Using the MS
XML 3 parser... in case that matters).
